General Rancor is threatening to destroy the world with a missile he is hiding at his secret base. But to complete his goal, he needs a special computer chip, invented by the scientist Prof. Ukrinsky. Special Agent Dick Steele is assigned to the case, in order to prevent the worst. He teams up with Ukrinsky's daughter Veronique, who happens to be a KGB agent. Dick Steele, Agent WD-40 is assigned by his Director, to stop the evil General Rancor from destroying the world. WD-40 believed Rancor was dead and he teams up with the hot K.G.B. Agent Veronique Ukrinsky to find Rancor and save the world. The Weird Al Yankovic opening credit sequence is funny, and occasionally there is a moment or a one-liner that makes you smile….but otherwise, this movie is NOT FUNNY. The humor is forced, not more subtle like in the Naked Gun films, and it's tiresome as to how much they rip off from other movies instead of trying to come up with more original gags. Weird Al was funny as usual in the intro, but that was where the laughs ended. This movie tries to recapture the humor of Airplane and The Naked Gun, but fails miserably. It seems clear that the people who put this movie together did not even understand this type of humor.<br/><br/> In Airplane, the humor lies in taking logical steps from peculiar interpretations of events. "Surely your joking" "I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley." Now that's funny.<br/><br/> This movie, however, merely has gags without context. Director Rick Friedberg (who made the "bad golf" videos with Leslie Nielsen) has crafted a dreadfully unfunny comedy that takes Naked Gun-like sketches and rehashes them without a whit of style or energy.
